Prometheus Cave
პრომეთეს მღვიმე
Georgia's most famous cave, with dazzling stalactites, stalagmites and an underground river lit by colored lights, where you can take a boat ride.
Prometheus Cave (Kumistavi Cave) lies about 20 km northwest of Kutaisi and was discovered in 1984. The open section is about 1.4 km long. Across its 22 chambers, curtains, stalagmites and petrified waterfalls look spectacular under colored lighting. Visits are guided and take about an hour in total. At the exit, you can add a boat ride on the underground river, subject to water levels. Admission is roughly 20 to 30 lari, and the cave is closed on Mondays. The floors are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes and bring a light jacket. It can be combined with Sataplia and Tskaltubo on the same day.
